What the State Press Thinks of Au-
ditor Kiesewetter.
Hon, Emil Kiesewetter, the present eff
cient Auditor of State, will be candidate
for reelection before the Democratic State
Convention at Cleveland. He has made an
excellent officer, and is receiving many
complimentary notices from the press
throughout the State, as shown by the follow
ing. He should be renominated without op-
position, and we hope for his reelection:
From the Union County Journal
Hon. Emil Kiesewetter should be unani-
mously re-nominated with big ''U'') for
State Auditor. He has made an able and ef-
fcient State official and his services should
oe rewarded with an unanimous re-nomina-
ton as an expression Of confidence and es-
teem.
From the Brown County Democrat.
Auditor of State Kiesswetterwill be can
didate before the Democratic State Conven-
ton for denomination, so we learn from an
exchange. He has made popular anc
satisfactory official. He has discharged hi'
duties faithfully and correctly. And If n
desires a denomination the Democrats viii
gladly give it to him, no doubt. for ne i
worthy of renewed confidence.
| From the Ashtabula Democratic 5tsndard:
wehope the Democracy of Ohio will recog
nize the worth and efficiency of State Audi
tor Kisewetter, by re-nominating him at tn
coming Cleveland Convention. He is no'
serving his first term, and that service ha
been marked by adegree ofintelligent actio
and sound Judgment that is a credit to'th
State, and an honor to the Democracy ths
put him there. When public officer ha
been faithful to his trust, the party by CON
Imofa aconsent endorse him with renomins
tion. Such an endorsement was never MOI

1t is natural to suppose that man, after the
glacial age should appear upon the highest
points Of land, having, through the instinct
of representation, sought the highlands to
escape the floods which followed the breaking
up of the Glacial Period and the melting Of
the great ice-sheet. Consequently, it is sup
posed that post-glacial man survived on this
watershed that divided the lake region from
the Mississippi valley. 1t is supposed also
that he came from the northwest. As the
waters subsided he came from the ancient
habitat of his race and spread over the
Mississippi valley. es g.

wonderful and curious things there
grouped together none attracted more
attention than the pith of large
gourd, shown as vegetable sponge, y
"bathing CLOTH" "dish rag" and in
the form of sun hats and bonnets, and
ladies' work baskets. The thought
that this pith or seed holder Of shat
particular kind of gourd originated
with lady at Kittrell, N. c. From
there it spread to Florida and Arkan-
sas. The Kittrell lady, Mrs. E. w.
Ellis, took the $50 gold medal offered
by the North Carolina Exposition in
1884 for the largest variety of useful
and ornamental articles made by any
one person from a North Carolina
product. She exhibited twenty-five
articles. Since then she has been in
steady receipt of orders for hats, bon
nets, baskets, fans, and many other
articles. This "dish rag gourd'
grows in every Southern State. The
number of mercantile forms it can be
made to assume are innumerable. 1t
can be made as great and as profitable
an industry as any for which willow
or rattan are the materials. Given
good taste, ingenuity, business com

VALUE OF SMALL INDUSTRIES

The GOLD LEAF is persistent ad-
vocate of small ndustries-manufac
turing enterprises-for the South.
Under the heading, "The day of small
things" the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record Of last week has the following:
We can scarcely refer too frequently
to the importance of establishing small
industries at the South, for if these are
neglected there will be no steady
growth, no permanent prosperity.
In letter from Wadesboro, N. c.,
on another page of this issue, our
special correspondent repeats in con-
else form what has often been told
before, how adhering to one crop
makes the farmers poor. We might
with perfect safety paraphrase his ar
gument, and show how attention to
great enterprises to the neglect of
lesser ones retards the growth of a
country and the prosperity of It's peo-
pie. 1t took the astute business men
of Great Britain half century or
more to learn that with all their COM
merce that covered the world, and
with all their mighty mills and fac
tories, they could not have a steady
run of profitable business until all
manner of petty industries were de-
veloped. On the other side of the
channel was France, whose, people
had an intultive understanding of this
matter, and nothing was too trivial
for them to make provided only it
was Saleable. When the empire fell,
and the young republic ransomed It.
self from German control, the i'm
mense sum of money demanded by
the victory furnished at short notice,
because the savings from all their
petty industries, with what came from
the farms and vineyards, made an
aggregate SO large that the great
corporations had no trouble in supply
ing the balance. Had France had
only her splendid potteries, her Lyons
silk factories, her vineyards famous in
poesy and history, and all other great
industries for which she is distinguish
ed, it would have been the work of
years to pay that ransom and escape
that thraldom.
1t has been said by an American
philosopher that weed is a plant
whose virtues or uses have not been
discovered. The South is full of
weeds of that kind, many of which
might be made the raw material for
very large industries. There is one
weed growing in the coast counties of
several Southern States whose fruit
had uses that were known locally for
several generations, but no one in
those States thought that in that use
was business and fortune. A
Pennsylvania druggist in some way
became apprised of its virtues and

THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH.

L HE = IKE Of HE ooC A.
After a fever of speculation a finan-
cial reaction, more or less severe, &C
cording to conditions and clrcum-
stances, invariably sets in, says the
Richmond IPHig. This reaction Is
test of the reality of values and the
community, where speculation has
been rife, that can pass it safely with
out suffering a disastrous depreciation
in its means of wealth will almost sure
ly realize stable prosperity.
The South is now a fertile field OF
great expectations. The development
boom is at its height. The rage tor
investments in a number of localities
! is Unprecedented.
The minds of the people are fired
with the spirit of speculation. The
newspapers are flied with accounts OF
marvellous transactions in this and
that sort Of property. The disposition
is general to exaggerate facts and ten
dcncfes, and to disregard the doubts
and cautions Of the more thoughtful
and far-seeing Still, a word of warn
ing now and then will not be thrown
away, if it only has the effect Of causing
those who are thus possessed with illu-
sive fanCies of sudden and unearned
wealth to go slower in their under
takings. A great deal of disappoint-
ment is almost certain to follow in the
wake of this precipitated industrial &C
tivity, because it will not pan out as
speedily and prohtably as it promised.
On this subject the Baltimore HmerI-
can gives the following sensible coun-
sell:
This extravaganza is not only I'M
wise, it is thoroughly injurious. Il
raises expectations that are not full
filed. 1t describes conditions that dc
not exist. 1t produces an excitement
that must necessarily be followed by g
reaction.
